1 thing I've noticed is the 50cm fuse is easier to get up and stay up in light conditions then longer in my opinion.

He went with the HA.

I am a few kg's heavier than you and with an HA1125 and a 4m and 95L board can get going in almost nothing, and can glide for a long time on a little bit of swell. With my smaller board which is neutral/slight sinker it is a lot harder but doable.

Curious which 4m wing and 95L board you are using. I want to work on technique so I can also get going in light wind but want to do it with the right wing that I know works for others. Thank you for the information

Just had a stellar session on the 1325 with 50 fuse, 195 tail with a .5 shim. Wind was very light (lightest I've been in with this wing). Flying a 5M OR Glide. Wind was 7-9.5 knts is my best guess, with light surface texture and small swell lines. 65kgs 60L FG.

Reason for this post is that I'm starting to dial in this wing and get to know it better. I want to try and describe this turn/flight pattern I was doing that felt amazing. I've been really enjoying powered up S turns with the 725 and 925 lately (especially on waves and bumps) and tried them with the 1325 in the flat water. It truly feels like a glider. With barely any wind to 'power' the S-turns, I relied more on altitude trimming through the linked turns, with slight power, drive, balance coming from the rigid 5M.

Starting high on foil before diving down into my toeside turn, I would then bank back onto my heel rail and gain altitude to the top of that turn arc in a repeatedly flowing glider flight pattern. Think of it as a pumping motion, but slower cadence with a banked turn at the top and bottom. I was imagining what it would be like to fly a glider and pull this maneuver (much more fun than just up and down roller coaster).
Initially I was allowing too much knee bend through this, similar to pumping, with my bent knees starting the diving turn. Then I thought of KDMaui's more powerful straighter leg stance, which I find relies more on ankle pressure/precision. The added force/acceleration of the turns at top and bottom makes it possible for the foil to drive the majority of my mass, as opposed to the aided 'suck up the knees' standard pump.

Flying the same pattern with different techniques was just a zen moment, flying in the sunset lighting. Cheers.
